Loved the C63, hated the tranny and rear space (huge seats). In the end, the M3 won.
The transmission is what is holding me back. I am still undecided and am going to spend more tome in both cars. I was much more impressed in the c63 than I thought I would be.

To me, the amg was much faster. Now to be clear, I have only driven 6mt m3, not a dct. The m is still fun, I was just surprised how big the power difference seemed to be.

I still will likely end up with the m3.
